over the blunder of one of its number
woman not unaccustomcd to blunder-

Interior. The servant ushercd her into
a salon, where stately person in sombre
raiment and of austcrc mien received
her. After the usual exchange of social
amenities the visitor glanced around ex-

This time Bowcrs's new-made enemy

This time Bowerss new-made enemy
was of another stamp of man. He knew
of the Hamrick matter, but a few months
ago settled. SO last October he went to
the county seat and there gave to the
solicitor or grand juryman the infor-
nation that Bowers was violating the
statute by unlawfully living with a wo-
man, and that the woman had also vio-
lated tho law in committing bigamy.
Now here was situation. Bowers
and his wife was arrested, and Senator
Elias, lawyer of rcputc III all that re-
gion, was sought to dcferd them. The
husband, who had given bond for his
appearance at court, rode many miles
after Lawyer Elias" and told him the
whole story
Tho lawyer, n man Of culture, was
astonishcd Mt tho story thus unrollcd
before his eyes. Court met and the
lawyer used all his cloquence and per
suaslvcness. He told the whole story
OF the deserted wife, the long vigil of
love, the giving up OF the first husband
for dead, the remarriagc, the return of
the long lost husband, the verbal agree
mont that he should return to the far
northwest and all remain as it was.
The narrative had its effect upon tho

ly, unknowingly been violated; it must
be technically enforced. SO there was
technical verdict of guilty, witha recon-
mcndntion to the mercy of the court if
the parties lived separate and apart.
This Was Lawyer Elius's chance, his
opportunity; he seized it, He told Bow.
crs that he and his wife had best go out
of that ncighborlood, and that they
might live together; that the verdict was
only technical, and the judgment mere
form, and that in the future the law
would not again disturb them.
They acted on the suggestion, re-
moved to Macon county, and now live
there at peace with all the world. Only
n few weeks ago the son was married,
and in the spring the girl will become Il
bride.
So Senator Elias told the story, n true
story III all particulars, which has in it
all the elements of the fanciful and the
unreal, and is yet just as true us the fact,
known of all men, that the great peaks
of the Blue Ridge raise themselves sky
ward in Western North Carolina.

Before Governor Gordon left for New

the prosecution were notified that the

cause the Governor was absent and the

Governor left a rcquisition was made by
Governor Gordon on the Governor OF
South Carolina for w. S. Snyder,
charged with an offence in Augusta. On
a blank previously signed, Governor
Richardson, of South Carolina, made a
rcquisition on Governor Gordon, after
he had left, for party in Coffee county,

Temperance in the Schools.

The temperance education law Of Yer
mont, enacted in 1882, with no specific
provisions and no penalty, has proved
weak and TOO indefinite to secure the de,
signed object. The w. G.. II. u. Of that
state voted to petition the Legislature OF
1886 for more stringent statute on this
subject, and engaged Mrs. NJ. III. Hunt
TO take charge of the campaign. The
now bill was modelled after the national
law, but was amended in the Senate with
an enabling clause. In spite of the
lobby combinations against it, this bill
was skillfuliy carried through both
houses with handsome majority.
At thirty minutes past five o'clock
| Tuesday evening the Governor returned
the bill to the Senate with veto mes
sage based on the Senate amendment,
which he declared Unconstitutional. y
The Legislature was to adjourn ut $
o'clock the next morning, but was to
have night session. The irrcprcssiblc

out the unconstitutional clause was

a Pathetic Incident AT Sea.

The brief story of the relief of the
British ship Baron Blantyro by the
steamship Baltimore condenscs enough
of incident to furnish Clark Russell or
some other skillful writer of sea stories
the basis for thrilling narrative. What
could be more narrowing than for starv-
mon to see, as the crew of the
iantyro did, their signal of distress un-
needed by passing vessel except SO far
as to drop provisions overheard, which
| the famishing men were too weak and
feeble to secure, being compelled to see
them floating away on the waves beyond
all hope OF reach? In the height oi
their distress the Baltimore hove in
sight on her way from Liverpool to this
city, and humanely responding with all
possible speed to the appeal for assist.
AZ CO, sent over the waves of an angry
sea boat to their succor. But for the
timely arrival OF the steamship the crew
of the Blantyro would probably have
perished. Their condition being aggra.
waited by the knowledge that they had
provisions on board which they were un
able to eat because, being salted, they
would only have increased the torment
of their thirst. The plight from which
they were so fortunately rescued Just in
